Dragon's Teeth: Interesting aliens-of-the-week, an engaging story, and good performances by everyone. Janeway's line at the end about seeing them again bugged the hell out of me though because it's obvious that Voyager will never encounter them again. They'll forget everything that happened in this episode by next week.
I was in a lousy state of mind watching this (still really am) episode, so it was really hard for me to enjoy it, but being as objective as possible I think that Dragon's Teeth is very good. If I was happier I am sure I would have enjoyed it much more.
7/10

I think they meant to bring them back if Voyagers ratings had been as high as Paramount wanted them to be but because they weren't, I assume they freaked and used the Borg much more instead. they were already proven to grab an audience due to their numbers based on Scorpion and "First Contact", so they fell back on an old stand by instead of taking that risk on something new. I guess when the budget is at stake, a risk is too risky.

I think going back over the show, when you get to great eps. like this that are incredibly open ended to a fault, it just shows that the troubles behind the camera were starting to affect what was going on in front of it and that's not good.

You're on the home stretch, why would you quit now?

Plus, you're fast approaching my favorite episode, and I want to know what your score is.

There are some really fantastic episodes ahead in season 6 to be fair.

I'm still uncertain, but I think now I'm leaning a little towards continuing with the show. My girlfriend dumped me, so it looks like I'll have some extra time to kill for awhile. Voyager's been saved......for now.

Sorry to hear about your newfound bachelordom. Hope you're alright.

Sorry to hear about that AdmiralScreed.

AdmiralScreed · March 27 2012, 11:12 PM

Thanks, everyone. It's difficult to cope with, but I'm trying to stay positive and things are improving. Maybe Voyager will improve too.

DonIago · March 27 2012, 11:21 PM

Think good thoughts.

Well Star Trek is the perfect show to watch and forget about real world troubles :P

Easier said than done. When I'm feeling terrible I can't give TV the focus it needs in order for it to be enjoyable. I wish I could, but it just isn't the way I am.

I appreciate the support though.

You're young, and she wasn't worth it. Move on!

Shoot, I'm barely older than you, and I'm just now starting to realize what life has to offer when you're not anchored down by a battle-ax! They're fun to look at, though.

You seem like a decent fellow.
I have no doubt you'll be hooking up with another hottie soon enough.

Nick Cage sold his milti million dollar comic book collection to keep his wife.

The kings daughter didn't want the money, she just thought that it was childish.

She still left him.

That's a terrible terrible story.
